Aging & Social Media, Sugar Daddies & Only Fans

Marketing & Mayhem

We work through big feelings we’re both having about this idea of growing old (at 40) - from Golden Girls (did you know they are depicted to be in their late 40s) to the parents on the Father of the Bride. How did marketing shape our idea of aging and what does it look and feel like to age gracefully. And what about Martha Stewart and Vera Wang - beauty, brains and work ethic. In fact, Vera recently celebrated her love of working hard as well as her love from McDonald’s and her love for glazed donuts. Is there a room for people to want to continue to pursue hobbies and passions, and actually have achievements in a society where everyone tells you to slow down and to say no more and to focus on self-care?
And then, of course, we get silly as we unpack Raebecca’s sugar daddy - and the time she had to explain what a “sugar daddy” is to her 8 year old. No one panic - she made sure to say “if you stay really true to yourself” - because of course authenticity is queen around here.
Have you ever considered - truly considered - the concept that 10 people can have the same “experience” but can leave with completely different perspectives? The entire idea of marketing and even social media as that you got to control somebody’s perspective about your business or your product and so ultimately we dig into why this matters. And honestly, why are we firing teachers over their only fans accounts? Shouldn’t we be spending our time on figuring out how to get them paid properly?
And yes we know the brain is an organ - we meant you have to use your brain like you use your muscles, constantly - but also, we’re not perfect.
